Mega Heroes At One Place But Still Distance Prevails!

Share

There news about differences between the Mega heroes have been doing rounds for the past couple of years. They used to dismiss it by coming together during festivals. Despite the fans being at loggerheads, the heroes used to put up a united front to make sure people don’t get the wrong idea. But the recent incidents seems to have created a big distance between the heroes.

Allu Arjun supporting YSRCP MLA candidate Shilpa Ravi has not gone down well with the heroes who extended their support to Janasena. Even a elderly member like Nagababu took to social media and made some comments which went viral. The distance between Bunny and other Mega heroes have been growing bigger ever since. Recently, the statement made by Allu Arjun during the ‘Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam’ pre-release event added fuel to the fire.

Recently, the Mega heroes Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej and Bunny are reportedly shooting in nearby locations at Ramoji Film City. But they did not meet at all. Bunny is busy with the shooting of ‘Pushpa 2’ and sources say that Tej and Varun’s shootings are happening at adjacent floors. Though Varun and Sai Dharam met each other, they did not enter the ‘Pushpa 2’ set and talk to Bunny at all. Even the Icon Star did not make an effort to meet that and experts claim that it is the suggestion of how far things have gone down south in between the family members. We need to wait and see when these issues get solved in the Mega family.

Among the recent box office successes are Aay and Committee Kurrallu, both helmed by debut directors. Anji, who directed Aay, and Vamsi, known for Committee Kurrallu, have quickly established themselves as promising talents. Their films have not only provided much-needed relief for the industry but have also attracted the attention of producers seeking to collaborate with fresh voices.

Similarly, Vamsi has attracted interest from multiple producers and is currently in talks for future projects, although he is still searching for the right lead actor.

Laxman Karya, who directed Maruti Nagar Subrahmanyam, has also made a significant impact with his previous film Happy Wedding.

As these directors gain momentum, there is a growing optimism that they will continue to thrive, especially if they can secure collaborations with established heroes and producers.

ఆయన మైండ్ లో ఉన్న స్టార్ హీరోలు అయితే ప్రస్తుతం సినిమాలతో బిజీగా ఉన్నారు. వారు డేట్స్ అడ్జస్ట్ చేసి ఉంటే ఈపాటికే జై హనుమాన్ సినిమా షూటింగ్ కూడా మొదలు పెట్టేసేవాడు. క్యాస్టింగ్ ఖరారు కాకపోవడంతో ఈ సినిమా అప్డేట్ కోసం ప్రేక్షకులు వెయిట్ చేస్తున్నారు. ఇదిలా ఉంటే మోక్షజ్ఞ డెబ్యూ మూవీ బాధ్యతని నందమూరి బాలకృష్ణ ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ చేతిలో పెట్టారు. ప్రతిష్టాత్మకంగా ఈ చిత్రాన్ని తెరకెక్కించడానికి ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ రెడీ అవుతున్నాడు.

ఇప్పటికే ఈ మూవీ స్టోరీలైన్ రెడీ అయినట్లు టాక్ వినిపిస్తోంది. అభిమాన్యుడి క్యారెక్టర్ బేస్ చేసుకొని సూపర్ హీరో కథగానే ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ మోక్షజ్ఞ సినిమాని చేయబోతున్నాడని టాక్ వినిపిస్తోంది. ఈ సినిమాకి సంబందించిన అఫీషియల్ ఎనౌన్స్ మెంట్ త్వరలో వచ్చే అవకాశం ఉందంట. ఈ సినిమాకి నిర్మాత కూడా సిద్ధంగా ఉన్నట్లు టాక్ వినిపిస్తోంది. దీని తర్వాత డివివి దానయ్య నిర్మాణంలో దానయ్య తనయుడు దాసరి కళ్యాణ్ హీరోగా అధీరా అనే సినిమాని ఏడాది క్రితమే ఎనౌన్స్ చేశారు.
ఇది సూపర్ హీరో మూవీగానే తెరకెక్కనుంది. నిజానికి హనుమాన్ తర్వాత ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ అధీరా సినిమాని స్టార్ట్ చేయాలని అనుకున్నారు.

అయితే ఇప్పుడు మోక్షజ్ఞ డెబ్యూ బాధ్యత తనమీద ఉండటంతో అధీరా దర్శకత్వం తన అసిస్టెంట్ కి అప్పగిస్తున్నట్లు తెలుస్తోంది. ఈ సినిమా నిర్మాణంలో ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ కూడా భాగస్వామ్యం కాబోతున్నారంట. ఈ భారీ ప్రాజెక్ట్స్ అన్నిటినీ ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ బ్యాక్ టూ బ్యాక్ చేయాల్సి ఉంది. అయితే ఈ సినిమాలకి సంబందించిన అప్డేట్స్ గురించి అయితే ప్రశాంత్ వర్మ నుంచి ఇప్పటి వరకు ఎలాంటి ప్రకటన రాలేదు.

జై హనుమాన్ ముందు స్టార్ట్ చేస్తామని ఆ మధ్య ప్రకటించారు. అయితే తరువాత దానిని హోల్డ్ లో పెట్టి రణవీర్ సింగ్ తో సూపర్ హీరో మూవీస్ ప్లాన్ చేశారు. అది క్రియేటివ్ డిఫరెన్స్ వలన ఆగిపోయింది. తరువాత జై హనుమాన్ స్టార్ట్ చేస్తారని అనుకుంటే హీరో సెట్ అవ్వలేదు. ఇప్పుడు మోక్షజ్ఞ డెబ్యూ మూవీ స్టార్ట్ చేస్తాడని టాక్ ఉన్న ప్రకటన రాలేదు.

However, Rohith is now eager to make a strong comeback and embark on a continuous career in cinema.

The film boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Sridevi Vijaykumar, Virti Vaghani, Naresh Vijaya Krishna, Vasuki Anand, Satya, Ajay, VTV Ganesh, Abhinav Gomatham, Viswant, Rupa Lakshmi, Sunaina, Raghu Babu, Amrutham Vasu, Adhurs Raghu, and others.

As Nara Rohith prepares to rekindle his connection with the audience, expectations are high for Sundarakanda to be a successful and memorable comeback film. With a promising team and a captivating teaser, the film is poised to make a significant impact on the Telugu film industry.

Indian astronaut to join ISS under Indo-US space cooperation

Share

New Delhi, Aug 25 (IANS) An Indian astronaut from the ‘Gaganyaan’ mission is set to join the International Space Station (ISS), marking a significant milestone in the Indo-US space collaboration, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh, said on Sunday.

Chairing a pivotal bilateral meeting on the US-India Civil Nuclear Commerce in the national capital, the minister highlighted the deepening cooperation between the two nations in critical areas of science, technology and clean energy.

The high-level US delegation was led by John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the US President for International Climate Policy and David Turk, Deputy Secretary, the Department of Energy.

Both nations reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening their cooperation in emerging technologies, with mutual interests in enhancing economic growth, national security and global leadership in technological advancements.

Dr Singh emphasised the importance of the partnership in securing global supply chains, especially in sectors like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and clean energy technologies, which are increasingly vital in today’s interconnected world.

The minister also underscored the Green Hydrogen Mission as a cornerstone of India’s strategy to decarbonise heavy industry, transportation and power generation.

“Through robust policy frameworks and international collaborations, India is poised to lead the transition to a sustainable and resilient energy future,” the minister told the US delegation.

The Centre is also exploring international partnerships, investing in research and development, and considering regulatory frameworks to support the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs).

According to the minister, SMRs would play a significant role in India’s clean energy transition, contributing to energy self-reliance and meeting climate commitments.

Dr AK Sood, Principal Scientific Advisor to the government, echoed the significance of the Indo-US partnership, stating that it is not just about exchanging knowledge but about co-creating solutions that will shape the future.

He emphasised the collaboration’s potential to pave new paths for sustainable development and economic prosperity.

Ukraine alleges massive Russian missile and drone strike, Poland issues air alert

Share

Kyiv, Aug 28 (IANS) Ukrainian agencies and media on Monday alleged that the Russian forces have launched a major missile and drone assault in several regions of the country, including the capital, Kyiv, killing three and wounding many people.

“The Russian occupiers started the week with a massive missile attack on Ukrainian cities. The free world must unite to put an end to Russian terror,” the Ukrainian Defence Ministry posted on X while confirming the assault.

At least three people were killed in the attacks, local media reported.

The Kyiv Independent reported that air raid sirens blared across the country just before 6 am Monday, with the alert still active at several locations.

The DTEK Group, which has heavily invested in energy assets in Ukraine, stated that state-owned electricity transmission system operator Ukrenergo has issued an order to introduce emergency blackouts throughout the country.

“Please note that during emergency shutdowns, schedules that can be predicted in advance do not work,” it posted in a message on Telegram.

Ukrainian media revealed that explosions have been reported from Odesa, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kremenchuk, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Kropyvnytskyi, Kryvyi Rih, Lviv, Rivne, and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts.

“The desire to destroy our energy will cost the Russians dearly, their infrastructure. Permission to strike with Western weapons deep into the territory of the Russian Federation. This is necessary. We do it ourselves. But such a decision will speed up the end of Russian terror,” said the Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office Andriy Yermak in a post on his social media channel.

Meanwhile, the Operational Command of the Armed Forces Branches in Poland, also issued an alert for citizens in the south-eastern part of the country, alerting them that there may be an “increased noise level” due to the start of operations of Polish and allied aircraft in its airspace.

“Since the early morning hours, intensive activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation has been observed, associated with strikes carried out on objects located, among others, in the western territory of Ukraine. The last such increased activity of Russian aviation, during which strikes occurred in western Ukraine, was recorded on July 8 this year. All necessary procedures to ensure the safety of Polish airspace have been launched, and the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces is constantly monitoring the situation,” it said in a statement.

The Kyiv Post quoted the governor of the central Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergiy Lysak, as saying that the Russian forces have attacked “en masse”.

“The attack on August 26 was one of the most extensive air assaults on Ukraine, targeting multiple regions and causing significant damage to infrastructure and energy facilities,” the leading daily reported.

“ISMR enables the emergence of a more contemporary India-Singapore partnership,” Jaishankar posted on X after the meeting.

Earlier the Indian ministerial delegation jointly called on Singapore Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong and also attended a luncheon meeting hosted by Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

Wong, who had led the Singapore delegation for the first ISMR held in New Delhi in September 2022, called the roundtable as an important platform to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

“Glad that progress has been made on several fronts since our last meeting. And new ideas for cooperation are being pursued, including in advanced manufacturing and connectivity. These initiatives will pave the way for closer strategic cooperation and partnership between India and Singapore,” the Singapore PM said after his meeting with the visiting Indian ministers on Monday.

Earlier in the day, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal met CEOs of various Singaporean companies over breakfast.

“Discussions centered around how these stakeholders, having significant investments in India, can grow further while contributing to the journey of achieving PM Narendra Modi ji’s vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047,” said Goyal.

ISMR is a unique high-level mechanism established to set a new agenda for India–Singapore bilateral relations.

The second ISMR also reviewed the progress from the first ISMR and identified new growth areas of cooperation.

“The establishment of the ISMR is a pathbreaking initiative which was envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and reflects the unique nature of India-Singapore bilateral relationship,” the MEA had said after the inaugural ISMR meeting.

Discussions during the inaugural round especially focused on emerging areas of digital connectivity, fintech, green economy, skill development and food security.

Appreciating ISMR, PM Modi had hoped that such initiatives would help further strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries.

After the first meeting, a FinTech Cooperation Agreement was signed between the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) in Gujarat.
